Adult Training: BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai, and More

Pasadena has no shortage of adults who work hard and want a training environment that matches that energy:

BJJ (All Levels): Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the foundation of the academy. A grappling art that works through leverage and technique, not size.

Beginner’s BJJ Course: A structured on-ramp for adults with zero experience.

Boxing and Muay Thai: Striking programs that complement the grappling curriculum.

40+ Club: Designed specifically for adults over 40 who want to train smart over the long term.

Schedule: No-Gi runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Gi runs Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sundays offer adult No-Gi and 40+ Gi at 10am.

Kids Programs near Pasadena Area

Parents in and around Pasadena know that kids need structure and a challenge. Martial arts provides both — and ours are run by coaches who expect something from every student.

Little Sharks (Ages 4+) is where the youngest students start. Short, focused classes that teach listening, coordination, and the basics of movement on the mat.

Junior BJJ (Ages 7-13) is our core kids program. Brazilian jiu-jitsu teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure, think through a problem, and work through difficulty without giving up. The techniques are real, the sparring is controlled, and the progress is visible.

We also run Kids Muay Thai and Kids Boxing for students who want to develop on their feet, and a Kids Competition Class for those ready to compete.

Melt Stress. Relieve Pain.

An amazing side-effect of our Hanover adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes is stress & pain relief. The full-body workouts erase stress from your body. 

The core-building Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques help your body function as it was meant to – meaning less strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Stretching and muscle-building improves range of motion. Improving oxygen flow is known to reduce Cortisol levels, or stress hormone, in the body. 

Plus, after such awesome workouts, you’ll sleep better too.
